To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. |
1 |
I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
|
2 |
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
|
3 |
When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
|
4 |
For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
|
5 |
You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
|
6 |
O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.
|
7 |
But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
|
8 |
He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
|
9 |
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
|
10 |
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
|
11 |
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.
|
12 |
When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.
|
13 |
Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
|
14 |
That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
|
15 |
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
|
16 |
The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah
|
17 |
The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.
|
18 |
For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
|
19 |
Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
|
20 |
Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
